[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1973914, member: 345386"] [USER=497846]@Patrick66[/USER] - Hang on in there. You are doing so incredibly well. In terms of your personal food challenges, I had concerns for you when you arrived, but far, far less so now. You have tried new things and tried new ways of doing things, and whilst you may not be totally sold on them for the longer term, you tried them, and hopefully, you may have found the odd thing you can stick with. Looking at your last 8 years, I just can't imagine it, but you are still here. You're holding down a job. You're holding down a relationship, and trying to do the best for your health. Fair play. You've often talked about the stress levels you endure at work. I don't know what you do (and I'm not asking), but is the stress related to what you do or the company/organisation you work with? You talk about finding autism friendly roles. I used to work with a guy with autism. He was sometimes kinda hard work on the chit-chat front, but boy, could he work! And more to the point, his wark was absolutely impaccable. I would re-emply that guy in a heartbeat. Don't devalue yourself. We all have gifts and talents to offer the world; it's just some of our gifts are less mainstream. Stick with us Patrick, and more to the point, stick with yourself. [/QUOTE]
